LOOM-CI'IECK MOUNTING.

Application filed October 6, 1924. Serial No 741,890.

To" all whom it may concern."

Be it known that we, JAMES A. .ANnnEws and JOHN W. .HERBERT', citizens of the United States, residing at Biddeford, in the Loom-Check Mountings, of which the following is a specification.

p This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in loom checkmountings, and the primary object thereof is to provide an improved mounting for the check.

The general practice heretofore has been to cut a socket in the wood lay of the loom, 1 and insert a nuttherein for the belt that secures the loom check to the lay, butwith this construction the disadvantage prevails of the nut working loose in the wood and the splitting of the lay at each end.

The present invention therefore aims to overcome the objection supra and to provide a mounting which can be quickly applied to the loom lay which is of economical construction, and which cannot work loose in ordinary usage to which the loom is sub- 1 jected, and will overcome the splitting of the lay at the ends. Y

The invention has still further and other objects which will be later set forth and manifested in the course of the following description. In the drawings 1- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the invention applied to a member of the loom frame, the latter shown in'fragment. I

Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Figure 1 and j Figure 3 is a section on line 33 of Fig. 1. In proceeding in accordance with the present invention a bracket employed which has a vertical front web l -formed to seat flatagainst the outer vertical face of the lay Lof the loom. The lower side of the Web 1 is formed with a pair of spaced integral right angular feet 2 which latter engage snugly against the bottom side of the lay. The web 1 is formed 'witha' pair of holes in which attaching screws 3 are re- 1 ceived and driven into the lay. The central part of the web 1' is formed with a preferably circular boss 5 which projects rearwardlyandis formed with a threaded aperture to receive the bolt 6. A circular hole 7 is bored in the lay L to receive the boss, but the wall resultant from the boring of the hole loosely receives the boss v5 sothat such Wall is not subjected to any rotative' action of the boss as in the old expedient of thenut which has been held by the wall orwalls against turning.

In use,the pick stick check, which may be of any type, for example that disclosed in our Patent No. 1,322,789 of Nov. 25, 1919,

is mounted on the bolt 6 so as to be supported 2 thereby. v 7

Any tendency of the device to rock about the boss, due to the weight of the check at the outer endof the bolt 6, will cause the feet 2 to move upwardly and be braced against the bottom of the lay thereby. Similarly the inner end of the boss 5 will be braced against the upper wall of hole 7.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and. desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a loom check mounting, a bracket having a Vertical front web formed to seat against an end of, the loom lay and having a spaced pair of right-angular feet atthe endsof its lower side to engage the bottom side of said lay, fastening screws extending through the web and into the lay, and a central boss integral withpthe web and having a threaded bolt-receivm opening therein,

said boss being formed to, be received in an opening provided therefor in said lay.

2.'In a loom check mounting,'a bracket having parts formed to seat on and against secure the bracket to the lay, a boss having a threaded. aperture projecting. outwardly from the bracket, and a bolt threaded into said aperture. j

3; In a 100m check mounting, a bracket having parts formed to seat on and against two adjacent faces of a lay of a loom, means to secure the bracket to the lay, a boss having threaded aperture projecting outwardly two adjacent faces of a loom lay, means to v from the rear face of the bracket and receiv- In testimony whereof We have signed our able in an opening provided therefor in said names to this specification in the presence 10 lay, and a bolt threaded in said aperture. of two subscribing Witnesses.

boss having a threaded perforation carried Witnesses: by the bracket, and a bolt threaded into said MABELLE SMITH, perforation. CHARLES M. HODGDON.
